Really, there were no workers at the controls of power in the USSR. They wanted to make it look like it, but they were the same elitist egoists, governments consist of all over the world.

" ... When I hear about workers in charge of production I think lunatics in charge of the asylum. ..."

Define "workers". There are not so much people in German who would call themselves that way, even if they are nothing else. It is just that in the 1970ies the government was able to make the people believe that there were no different classes anymore, and everyone would be able to rise to whatever he wanted - just like the rusted "american dream". And they still believe it, have no money and are assured that this is the right thing and all want the same, and the best, for them and for all. Just like the church did, in former times.

Right now they give a play they call democracy at the political theatre, to divert of who really is in charge of everything. I'd just say we should fire the politicians and elect our industrial bosses and bank managers directly, spares a lot of money with no politicians and lobbyists anymore

" ... Seriously I work in the manufacturing industry and though I respect the guys in the workshop when I listen to them about how they think the company should be run and how it should be managed quite a few of them are just unrealistic and if they were in charge they would take the company down in no time. ..."

I think a lot of those workers and partially high-skilled and trained employees who are currently not in charge would not be bad at all, in leading positions. It is just the aforementioned egoistic elitist alpha animals will just not let them pass their level.

Especially in politics they will always get away with the same scam number, of being the "great old man", while they are nothing more than egoistic criminals, and anti-social in every imaginable way.
("social" here meant as really feeling and acting responsible, for anything)
